comic books

[low_delta]

I used to pick up the occasional comic book or graphic novel. I haven't, lately. I did, recently get Sam Kieth's (The Maxx) Wolverine/Hulk story. Very cool. It's about a little girl (who may or may not really be there) who needs Logan's and Bruce's help getting free from a crashed plane.But it's not really clear why she needs the help - until the end.

Anyway, I was wondering what comics (if any) you enjoy.

I'll have to check out some more of them.

I used to read Marvel Comics' Avengers & West Coast Avengers on a moderately regular basis back in the day.  They had all these characters from different comics everywhere and had to maintain continuity to a T while building on / drawing from the interpersonal relationships between them.  I loved the "big event" issues where -everyone- in the Marvel universe seemed to make an appearance.

Before that (ie. 1986) I tracked a comic called Strike Force Morituri.  There were 31 issues (that I know of) detailing humanity's struggle against some extremely cruel alien invaders; the titular "Strike Force" was made up of people with less than a thousand days left to live.

Although they are tweaking many of the details to help people in suspending their disbelief, they are planning on making a televised series based on the comic so now would be an excellent time to lay down the $62 that the shops are asking for the comic's entire run:

Sounds cool. (The book, that is.)

What Mausi said.

Basically, anything that comes out of Slave Labor Graphics.

The Maxx is the very comic that got me started purchasing comic books in the first place! I love it!

Same here. I was only a little bit into comic books before that, but after I realized The Maxx was a book series, I spent a lot of time at the comic shops.
